Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Gongsun Zan's idea is actually very feasible.

Of course, the premise is that Cao Ang does not interfere in the affairs of Liaodong County.

If Cao Ang doesn't come, they will have a decisive battle after Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang first join forces to deal with Yuan Xi.

When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are fighting fiercely, Gongsun Zan will jump out to clean up the mess.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, no matter who they are, their prestige is naturally not as good as Gongsun Zan.

Then Gongsun Zan can easily take over Yuan Shao's power. After all, the two of them were allies before this. It makes sense for Gongsun Zan to take over Yuan Shao's power.

After occupying Liaodong County and Xuantu County, Gongsun Zan could station his troops in the western Liaoning area, which was the main transportation route for the Central Plains to attack Liaodong.

As long as we defend there, we are equivalent to defending Liaodong County and Xuantu County.

Then, Gongsun Zan will have the opportunity to cultivate his health and develop his own power.

The two counties of Liaodong County and Xuantu County are relatively remote. Although it is a troubled time, there was basically no war here before Yuan Shao fled here.

Therefore, the population of these two counties is not very large, but there are many young and middle-aged people, making it easy to replenish troops.

In addition, since this side is close to Wuhuan, we can also capture strong men from Wuhuan to replenish our troops.

This time, Gongsun Zan also saw his opportunity to rise again.

But he didn't know that Cao Ang had already landed in Liaodong County, and he didn't know that Cao Ang was planning to attack him.

……

At this time, Liaodong County was also turbulent.

After Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan stationed their troops about thirty miles west of Xi'an Pingcheng, they prepared to enter Xi'an Pingcheng with their personal guards.

In Yuan Tan's camp, Yuan Tan ordered five hundred personal guards and prepared to take them to Pingcheng, Xi'an.

As for Guo Tu, he stayed in the camp to guard, and waited for Yuan Tan to leave from Pingcheng, Xi'an, to go and meet Yuan Tan.

The situation in Yuan Shang's camp was similar.

Fengji stayed in the camp to guard, while Yuan Shang himself went to Xi'anping with his personal guards.

Before Yuan Shang set off, Feng Ji also lectured the guards: "On this trip to Xi'anping, you must protect the lord. If anything happens to the lord, don't blame me for turning against him!"

"Yes!" The five hundred guards made a deafening sound.

These people are all elites under Yuan Shang's command. Their daily treatment is much better than that of ordinary soldiers, so their combat effectiveness is also higher.

The three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang all have such an elite team under their command.

Of course, the treatment of these so-called elites is just that of ordinary soldiers among Cao's army. That's why Yuan Xi's subordinates defected to Cao Ang so easily.

After all, Cao Jun's treatment was really good in their eyes.

Yuan Shang led his people to Xi'an Ping. Before leaving, Feng Ji told Yuan Shang: "My lord, if anything happens in Xi'an Ping City, you must protect yourself first!"

"Even if you admit defeat temporarily, you must protect yourself and don't show off. Everything is under control!"

When Yuan Shang heard this, he nodded to Feng Ji and said, "Sir, don't worry. With these personal guards here, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi don't dare to do anything to me. I'll leave first!" After saying this, Yuan Shang led his men and rode away.

At this time, Yuan Tan was also preparing to take people out.

Before setting off, Yuan Tan also told Guo Tu: "Sir, I will leave all the affairs in this camp to you. If something happens to me in Xi'an Pingcheng, then revenge for me will be done. Just ask sir."

When Guo Tu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My lord, don't say these unlucky words before setting off. I believe you will return safely!"

Yuan Tan smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, and then set off with others.

Soon, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang met at the gate of Pingcheng in Xi'an.

The two have always been at odds with each other, so they became tense when they met.

"Oh, isn't this my third brother, the contemporary Hu Hai?" Yuan Tan said what Guo Tu had said before mocking Yuan Shang, directly mocking Yuan Shang as the second emperor of Qin.

When Yuan Shang faced Yuan Tan alone, it was true.

"If I am Qin II, then who are you?" Yuan Shang retorted disdainfully, and then the two started mocking each other at the city gate.

As for the personal guards they brought with them, they were also at war with each other at this time, and they seemed to be ready to take action if they disagreed.

Lu Bu, who was hiding aside, looked at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang who were arguing with each other. He curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Who are these two? Why are they fighting like children?"

Cao Jun on the side heard Lu Bu's words and nodded in sympathy.

At this time, Lu Bu was also helpless. His mission was to wait for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to enter the city and then control the city gate.

As a result, brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang started arguing directly at the city gate, which forced him to stay put.

Finally, Lu Bu became impatient with waiting.

I only saw him saying to a lieutenant on the side: "Go to Mr. Fengxiao to report that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have arrived, but they were quarreling at the gate of the city and delayed entering the city, which made him think Think of ways to."

"Yes, Marquis Wen." The deputy general responded, and then hurriedly went to Guo Jia to report the news.

At this time, Guo Jia was telling Yuan Xi what he should do after Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang arrived.

I saw Guo Jia sitting there, shaking his crow feather fan, and talking eloquently: "Second Master Yuan, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang both sent envoys to inform them that they will arrive here today."

"At that time, Mr. Yuan, you just need to entertain them well. If you can get them drunk, it would be best. If not, then I will naturally ask General Han Sheng to take action."

"Okay, then everything will be subject to Mr. Fengxiao's arrangement." Yuan Xi said with a smile.

At this moment, the deputy general also hurried in and reported to Guo Jia the situation at the city gate.

"Mr. Fengxiao, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have arrived at the city gate."

Seeing that the deputy general didn't even look at Yuan Xi, Guo Jia couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

Then, Guo Jia continued to ask: "Then where are the two of them now?"

The deputy general's face froze when he heard this, and then he continued: "The two of them are still arguing at the gate of the city. Marquis Wen can't come forward, so I asked Mo Lai to ask sir, what should we do now?"

When everyone heard the deputy general's words, they all looked at Yuan Xi with strange expressions. (End of chapter)
